Veteran OTS’r Julie S. is leading off Japan Week with this 1983 Centurion Elite RS. For me, Centurions were the ultimate road bike of the 80s—probably because the gaudy Ironman models were all the rage when I was impressionable, budding bicyclist. Not able to afford one, I opted to put drop bars and a florescent pink “splatter” paint job on my Sears 3-speed. You can read more about Centurion, where else but Sheldon Brown.
Cleaned up nice. Needs matching front wheel/replaced the saddle. Thrift shop find!
Finally finished her up grades/thanks for looking.
Julie also sent in some update shots of her Takara Horizon Mixte. Here is the first appearance of her Horizon, and here is the Matsuri which served as donor bike.

Thanks Julie
